<i>This message is being sent on behalf of Jefferson Lab Director
Hugh Montgomery.</i><br>
<br>
Dear Colleague,<br>
<br>
As we have discussed on several occasions, FY13 has been a difficult
year from the point of view of funding. In a memo to all staff, we
explained that we no longer contemplated operating the laboratory
with a reduced working week. Nevertheless, despite the mitigation of
a large part but not all, of the impact of sequestration, the budget
situation is very tight as we approach the end of the fiscal year.
We will be taking the actions as laid out below.<br>
<br>
- Deploy some of the Director's Reserve funds from the Department of
Energy.<br>
<br>
- Deploy some reserve SURA funds from the Commonwealth of Virginia.<br>
<br>
- Apply austerity in Materials and Services through to the end of
the fiscal year and reduce expenditures by delaying non-essential
procurements beyond the end of the fiscal year.<br>
<br>
- Implement the increased use of vacation time for <u>exempt
employees</u>. Your managers will be providing the details of how
this will be implemented.<br>
<br>
- Delay some post-shutdown activities until early October.<br>
<br>
In all these initiatives, we appreciate your support.<br>
<br>
<br>
With Best Regards,<br>
<br>
Mont <br>
